Re: [MBZ] Electric drain/fuses
It was DEFINITELY the radio amplifier in the trunk, NOT the cell phone. I was talking 'bout the cell phone box, 'cause I thought when I got into the trunk that that box was the radio amp; quickly realized it (the box) was the phone; 'didn't find the radio amp 'til I was locking up for the day. Culprit was radio amp. 'Went out this morning and plugged stuff back in; now to hope everything is working OK. BTW, found no drain at battery; antenna and radio amp in trunk remain unplugged.

[MBZ] 126 Power steering pump
OK, on to another project. I've been nursing the power steering pump on my 91 350SDL for years. It would get a bit noisy; I'd top it up with very small amount of fluid, and it would be quiet for many months. Several months ago, it was slightly noisy, and I topped it up, but it continues to be constantly slightly noisy (not loud at all, but I hear it). 'Time to finally do something about it. New or rebuilt one from Rusty, I'm thinking? Some are probably going to say, Rebuild it, yourself. In earlier times, I would have, but now, I'll just write check. Are the good shops that rebuild them? I'm thinking, I'll just write a check (credit card) to Rusty. Working up list for Rusty, now; shall I include power steering pump?

Re: [MBZ] Boost Pressure on 1984 300D
That is not true, perhaps increased wear but no melted pistons. I know many people who, either on accident (myself with a rotted hose) or on purpose (crazy people) who have run with out wastegate hose. Even with the overboost protection removed it was not until I got to the end of a 400mile drive through the mountains that I found mine loose. It's certainly not a good idea for all kinds of reason but there is no need to worry about your pistons melting. -Rolf Peter Frederick wrote: Absolute max 12.9, anything more and the pistons seem to get all squishy on top for some reason. 12 is good, 10 will feel very sluggish.

I'm 99.9% sure 'a drum' would fit in the back of a S123 laying down lengthwise.
Not so sure that two would fit back there at the same time. Reasonably sure it
can't fit under the roof standing on end.

[MBZ] W123 Seat Compatibility
My wife and son are thinking about replacing the tan MB-Tex seats in our project 1985 300CD and I wanted to find out what seats will fit. I am assuming that the rear seat is special to the coupe? Will any 300D front seats work? I believe that I have read here about list members using pool noodles and whatnot to repair the seat bottoms. My wife is somewhat skeptical about the durability of these repairs and is curious to see how long these repairs have lasted before needing redone or replaced.

Re: [MBZ] W123 Seat Compatibility
If the spring base is intact, the effort to repad the seat is not all that bad. I used a piece of scrap carpet first on top of the spring base tied on with nylong pull ties. Then added the fibrefill type padding on top of that and slipped the cover back on. A major improvement at very little expense and minimal effort. I did not put the pool noodle into the spring base as I did not think the seat needed to be firmer. I think now that the seat has been used for a bit that I should pull the cover again and add a bit more fo the padding but it is not bad as it is. Now I have issues with the seat back as the horsehair pad is deteriorating. Don't know if anyone has come up with a do it yourself repair for the backs or if the general concensus is that one just orders new horsehair pads for the seat backs.

Re: [MBZ] WOW! This is unique
My mother in law had a Pacer when it was new and 2 Gremlins previous to that. Pretty basic cars but they were not too bad. The Gremlins were olive green and caramel colored and the Pacer was caramel as well. I do remember the one Gremlin squeaking terribly. They had to drive down a gravel road to and from the highway and I think the dust got into something in the front suspension. I recall them trying to spray WD40 or something similar in on the spring etc but it did not help much. About enough to drive you crazy.

One reason the Pacer was so ugly was its weird proportions, which I think were actually well-intentioned---the designers tried to make a small car that still seemed roomy inside by making it very wide for its length. (Wider than a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, according to Wikipedia!) Quite different from the prevailing style in which subcompacts are tall and narrow. I think the short, wide design is arguably better suited to American roads, while a narrow car works better on European and Japanese roads. But there's no way to make a short, wide car attractive. I was at an orphan car meet this past weekend that featured a few AMCs, including a Gremlin and a Maverick, but no Pacers. I wanted to take a picture from directly behind, from which angle, because of the bulging side glass and inboard C-pillars, the Pacer looks like a fat guy wearing suspenders.

Re: [MBZ] OT - of sorts - penetrating oil test results
I wonder if anyone else has tried using biodiesel as a penetrating oil. I have had exceptional luck freeing up rusted/seized stuff by soaking in it. I have a couple of adjustable reamers that I used a long time ago to ream king pin bushings on a Volvo 544. They were seized up hard. After a soak in B99 they worked like new.

The first incident occurred May 21, 2009, when TAM Airlines flight 8091 (Brazilian registration PT-MVB) flying from Miami, Florida to Sao Paulo, Brazil, experienced a loss of primary speed and altitude information while in cruise flight. Initial reports indicate that the flight crew noted an abrupt drop in indicated outside air temperature, followed by the loss of the Air Data Reference System and disconnections of the autopilot and autothrust, along with the loss of speed and altitude information. The flight crew used backup instruments and primary data was restored in about 5 minutes. The flight landed at Sao Paulo with no further incident and there were no injuries and damage. The Safety Board has become aware of another possibly similar incident that occurred on June 23 on a Northwest Airlines A-330 (registration unknown) flying between Hong Kong and Tokyo. The aircraft landed safely in Tokyo; no injuries or damage was reported. Data recorder information, Aircraft Condition Monitoring System messages, crew statements and weather information are being collected by NTSB investigators. Further information on both incidents will be released when it becomes available. ### NTSB Public Affairs ** Make your summer sizzle with fast and easy recipes for the grill.

A major improvement at very little expense and minimal effort. I did not put the pool noodle into the spring base as I did not think the seat needed to be firmer. I think now that the seat has been used for a bit that I should pull the cover again and add a bit more fo the padding but it is not bad as it is. Now I have issues with the seat back as the horsehair pad is deteriorating.

Re: [MBZ] W123/126 steerinb box rebuild?
Rolf - I think it depends on why you want to rebuild the steering gear. If it is just leaking then you can replace most of the soft parts with pretty good results, but if you have excessive play, then it might be pretty tough to do a proper rebuild and get the clearances correct without having all the special tools to hold the various assemblies while you are establishing the necessary running torques. Take a look at the section in the manual (46-220) about rebuilding the steering gearbox and I think that you will see what I mean. Most folks just go down to the bone yard and buy a good used box for about $100. If you go to a do it yourself yard you may get one even cheaper and then you can test the play as well before pulling the box.

Ever since CPUs were measured in Ghz instead of Mhz, glitches in video streaming are usually from throughput on the source when watched from the internet. My 400 Mhz Cyrex CPU and slow motherboard integrated video had some minor problems with watching video, the 2.66Ghz Intel Celeron (crippled Pentium 4) that replaced it could simultaneously record and play (timeshift a TV show) at up to DVD Long Play resolution, but if I recorded at full standard DVD rates I had to disable timeshift. (I like to start watching a one hour TV show 10-20 minutes after it begins, and skip commercials as I watch. That way I finish watching about time the broadcast is finished.) my new 2.5Ghz AMD dual core can do any play/record functions I might want, but encoding and burning a DVD in Vista DVD Maker takes a couple of hours.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Which Apple should I buy?
The iBooks should work with an external mouse and keyboard, if they are USB. If they are older ones with the little round connectors then no. An external monitor will need a little pigtail to connect the monitor's cable to the mini-DV port on the iBook. Apple store sells them, be sure you get the one for your model. I have a G4 PowerBook 1Ghz and 768M RAM it does streaming video, e.g. YouTube just fine with our cable internet service; can't speak to how it would work on DSL i'd guess it might have a little more chance of being choppy but that really just means you're trying to suck more through of the pipe than it can deliver.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Which Apple should I buy?
The iBooks should work with an external mouse and keyboard, if they are USB. If they are older ones with the little round connectors then no. People forget that the i-Everything was post-ADB, post-SCSI, and after firewire came along. If the CPU's faster than about 300 MHz, in other words. Our 400 MHz pismo has a little trouble with youtube, but will play a DVD just fine, much bigger and with a faster frame rate. So it's a bit on the edge.

That being said: == $235 A43 APPLE iBOOK G4 A1055 1.33GHz 512MB 60GB DVD WiFi -- $125 A172 APPLE iBOOK G4 A1055 1.33GHz 512MB 60GB DVD WiFi -- The G4 iBook was a very nice machine, and these two examples will allow you to run Leopard, the last PowerPC version of the Mac OS. If you are going to buy one of these machines just to learn the OS, then one of these would be my recommendation. -- $150 A26 APPLE iBook A1005 G3 700MHz 256MB 20GB CD LAPTOP MAC OS 10.4 TIGER iLIFE AIRPORT CARD INSTALLED -- $175 A139 APPLE iBOOK G3 A1007 900MHz 256MB 40GB DVD WiFi -- $100 A65 APPLE iBook A1005 G3 700MHz 256MB 20GB CD LAPTOP MAC OS 10.4 TIGER iLIFE AIRPORT CARD INSTALLED -- $100 A34 APPLE iBOOK 600MHz 640MB 40GB DVD CD-RW WiFi M6497 30 DAY DOA WARRANTY - MAC OS 10.4 TIGER iLIFE INSTALLED -- Do not, under any circumstances, buy a G3 anything. -- $100 (DESKTOP) SM1 APPLE QUICKSILVER POWER MAC G4 800MHZ 768MB CD-RW -- This machine will not officially run Leopard. You will have to learn how to force Leopard onto this system, and as such may become frustrated. With that being said, personally, I wouldn't offer any of these machines to a first time Apple buyer for several reasons without knowing specifically what you want to use a Mac to do. So I will make some assumptions and attempt to talk you forward based on that. First, the PowerPC (PPC) architecture is well and truly dead. Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6, is Intel only and has absolutely no PPC code left in the system. Most games already are using a series of code that allows Windows games to be quickly ported to the *Intel* version of the Mac OS by using some of the WINE code to compile into the code to make the Windows API specific parts of the game think they are running on a Windows machine. This means that there is already software that simply will not run on any version of the PPC Mac OS, and that will only get worse as new software is written specifically for Snow Leopard. Second, out of all of the choices offered above the best ones are the G4 iBooks. These iBooks were introduced in 2004, and as such are already 5 years old technologically. The video processing (which is important for the video you mention) is only 32 MB in an ATI 9200 Radeon chip on the high end. Can you perform video functions with this chipset? Yes. Will it be fluid? Depends on what you are watching. YouTube regular video? Probably ok. YouTube HD video? Really pushing it. Hulu, CBS, ABC, etc? Depends on bit rate and resolution. Basically, bandwidth is important to get the data to you, however, it's still up to the video processor to decode and display that information. Third, while I am confident you will love the Mac OS if given an open and honest chance. There is always that learning curve for new ideology. Meaning, if you have Windows so ingrained that you just can't get your mind to wrap around how the Mac OS does things, you'll always feel like it's mocking you. Making you angry. With a PPC Mac, you are stuck with the Mac OS, or PPC Linux/BSD. Reference the First point and you increase the probability that this machine will sit unused. Fourth, while $235 will not buy you even a Core Solo (Intel) Mac Mini, when you can find them $399 will. In fact Power Max ( http://www.powermax.com/parts/show/c-u66060) has one in stock right now. 1.5 Ghz Core Solo, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB hard drive and 64 MB Video RAM with the Intel GMA950 integrated graphics system. Also not a powerhouse video card, but better at video decoding than the ATI. $599 will get you a Core Duo iMac with integrated 17 LCD monitor. $595 will also get you a 1st Generation Core Duo MacBook as well, if a laptop is truly important to you. What does your $164 (for the Core Solo Mini) in difference get you? Peace of Mind Insurance. The Intel Macs can run Windows. In fact several PC magazines say the best Windows PC to buy is a Mac. So if the Third point comes to pass that you just have to have Windows, you can remove the Mac OS and install Windows and chalk it up as a bad exercise. It also buys you the chance to use Snow Leopard (though in the case of the Core Solo, not at full strength. Snow really loves multiple core/multiple processors) which will be out in Sept, and will keep your Mac current for the next generation, thereby also allowing you to have less
